This 430 Scuderia pre-dates the show car Ferrari unveiled in 2007. The car is painted in Blu Scozia with silver racing stripes. Chassis no. 155217 was initially owned by Ferrari itself. Developed with the help of Formula 1 great Michael Schumacher, the 430 Scuderia is a true great in Ferrari’s long lineage of superb mid-engined, V8 supercars. What is likely one of the most desirable examples in existence has now hit the market, and it’ll probably be one of the most expensive ever sold. This particular 2008 430 Scuderia isn’t being offered by a prominent auction company and has instead been listed privately by Aatelier M in Munich, Germany. It believes this car, chassis no. 155217 pre-dates the example originally presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007, and is the first one ever built.

As such, it was never used for even press or media duties, as is often the case with the first few examples of a car like this. Rather than being painted Rosso Corsa as you might expect, the car is finished in Blu Scozia with silver racing stripes, yellow brake calipers, and large Scuderia Shields on the front fenders. The Ultimate Scuderia? Aatelier M Aatelier M says the origin of this 430 Scuderia has remained a mystery until now and notes that, since leaving Ferrari’s hands, it has been owned exclusively by collectors. The car includes a service history and currently has 23,000 km (around 14,300 miles) on the odometer, with less than 4,000 km (2,500 miles) covered in the past 15 years. Not only is the exterior of the car striking, but the interior is, too. It is clad in stunning Grigio Alcantara surfaces, including the dashboard, seat bolsters and headrests, pillars, and the rear bulkhead. While no asking price has been made public, it’s safe to say this 430 Scuderia could prove to be one of the most expensive sold at auction, although it’s unlikely to match the $1.65 million sale price of the one sold from Phil Bachman’s collection earlier this year.
